Hello Everyone,
We were ready to take off in May for the beginning of the Great Loop when I checked the lower cutless bearing (aft end of keel) on our 1988 36' Grand Trawler Classic Trawler, dc, single shaft. The up/down slop at the prop was about 3/16" . Therefore thought it best to repair on local territory before heading out to parts unknown.
Finally found a yard in Maine to do the repairs, however, they have only referenced replacing one cutless bearing. The previous owner told me when he did the job in 2007, he thought 3 were replaced. The log only shows the job done but the #specifics.
Can anyone in the know tell me how many cutless bearings there are on a 36' Grand Banks, single screw? Any other idiosyncrasies for this job I need to think about?
Thank you for any advice. This TF Forum is great! Thank you.
Best regards,
Mike Dana
